A Nutrition Plan for You! 
 
By Linda DeFever 
Holistic Exercise, Nutrition and Lifestyle Coach 
 
Did you know that you are actually very different, 
biochemically speaking, from every other person who was or 
ever will be? Your body’s biochemical makeup is as unique 
as your fingerprints! 
 
For genetic reasons, we are all very different in the way 
that our bodies process foods and utilize nutrients. 
Throughout man’s evolutionary history, people all over the 
world have been forced to adapt to widely varying 
environmental circumstances – including very different 
climates and food. 
 
As an example, traditional Eskimos thrive on very large 
quantities of meat and fat, while people born in the 
tropics stay healthy eating fruits and grains and other 
light vegetarian fare. For decades, scientists have 
observed that people who eat according to their 
genetically-based dietary needs have virtually no incidence 
of cancer, heart disease, or any other degenerative 
aliments. Do you know your unique genetically-based 
nutritional needs? 
 
Metabolic Typing will help you identify your own highly 
individual dietary needs. This simple computer based test 
will determine the foods that will enable your body to 
function at peak efficiency. It will help you determine the 
ratios of fats, proteins and carbohydrates that are best 
for you. Think of your body as a car – all cars need a 
certain fuel mix to enable them to run efficiently. The 
fuel mix for a Formula I car is certainly different than a 
16 Wheel Mack Truck. This principle applies to your body 
and its dietary needs.  
 
If you believe in nutrition, but you have given up on it; 
if you are having difficulty making sense of the confusing 
and contradictory information flooding the market - Call 
Linda DeFever at 847-722-4376 to set up an appointment for 
your Metabolic Typing Test and Results Session. Through May 
15, 2006; receive a free copy of Paul Chek’s book: How to 
Eat, Move and Be Healthy!

What Is a Naprapath? 
By Dr. Robert Manfredini 
 
I’m a Naprapath. “Ah, what?” You may ask. Naprapaths or 
rather Doctors of Naprapathic Medicine are licensed 
healthcare providers who are connective tissue specialists 
who use the science of Neuromyology (the study of nerve and 
muscle) as a basis to correct pain issues such as low back 
pain, digestive disorders, neck pain and headaches, knee, 
fibromyalgia, and other joint pain, mid-back and rib pain.  
We are also the only healthcare practitioners who are 
licensed nutritional counselors; this type of patient 
education has a dramatic effect on their recovery and 
overall sense of wellness. Besides this I have extensive 
training in lymphatic disorders and am a Vodder-trained 
Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapist. Lymphatic issues 
involve minor to massive swelling of parts of the body 
which creates pain, esteem issues, decreased immune system 
function, as well as decreased quality of life. 
 
I evaluate connective tissue disorders in various ways; 
including Naprapathic examination of the spine, detailed 
medical history, performance of orthopedic and neurological 
examinations, muscle and range of motion testing, MRI 
reports, etc. By using connective tissue manipulation 
therapy, neuromuscular techniques, adjunctive therapies 
(such as electro-therapy, ultrasound, soft laser, infrared, 
hot/cold packs), traction, therapeutic exercises and 
orthopedic appliances and supports I will help you overcome 
your pain. By the way, I have a 97% success rate for 
negating pain within one visit. Please keep in mind that 
this does not mean the imbalance is corrected – that 
usually takes about 5 to 6 visits – it just means that you 
are out of pain and can perform activities of daily living 
better. 
 
What really happens is an improvement of nervous and 
lymphatic systems communication with the brain. Improved 
function leads to better health and pain-free daily living. 
I also have an exercise physiology background and have 
worked with athletes for the 19 years. I believe in 
prescribing smart exercise that will assist you in staying 
pain-free for months and years to come.  
 
I look forward to assisting you with your healthcare and 
pain needs. I can be reached at 1.847.533.7404. You don’t 
have to live in pain or dysfunction – discover Naprapathy 
today and feel better for the rest of your life.
